In a recent interview with THR, Vanessa revealed that when she started her career, she wanted to do indies.

“I wanted to be the indie girl and just do really dark dramas, but one thing led to another…(Laughs.),” she shared. “I enjoy having variety in my career.”

Vanessa adds, “At the end of the day, I think that will give me longevity. I want to keep it exciting for myself. I want to continue to push myself to places I haven’t been to because that’s how you grow — in your craft and as a person.”
